I am speechless. I am speechless that two hours away from where I live, over a hundred and forty children have died. I am speechless. My brothers, my sisters. They arenāt with us anymore, and I am speechless. I canāt tell you how much Iāve cried today, I canāt tell you how depressed, disgusted, sad, horrified and shocked I am at this act of terrorism in the name of āGodā.
Itās numbing to even try and think about what the mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters feel like right now - I canāt even imagine what itās like, to send your child to school asking him to do his very best on his mid year, telling him you believe in him, telling him not to leave a single question empty. He left the world instead.
Please donāt think we arenāt important because we arenāt from the well known Western countries. Please donāt let the lives lost be defined by race, language, nation. Please donāt think we deserve this because our oppressors and us, we share a religion - because if these terrorists are āmuslimsā, then I am not. (And believe me when I tell you theyāre not. They donāt know anything about Islam, because if they did they would hesitate to use harsh words, let alone guns.)
It takes two seconds to make a prayer. It takes two seconds to spread the word. It takes two seconds to make someone see that the oppressed and oppressors are different, even if they share a religon.
I hope you will remember that little, innocent children and teachers did not ask for this. I hope you will remember that a teacher got burned alive trying to save the students. I hope you will remember that raising your voice against evil is the first step to eliminate it from our society.
